vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Group 2 of Nations League B has only just begun and both Northern Ireland and Georgia are yet to play a match, so the standings do not reflect actual form. Northern Ireland arrive with a mixed run: two wins, one draw and three defeats in their last six matches. Their most recent test ended in a 1-3 away defeat to France, preceded by a 1-0 win over Guinea and, before that, a 1-1 away draw with Wales. Georgia arrive in better form: two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six matches. Their most recent test was a 2-0 win over Bahrain, preceded by a 1-1 draw with Romania and, before that, a 2-0 away win over Lithuania. There is no meeting on record between the two nations. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
